Hey everyone! School and work are going great! I have met a lot of very nice people! My classes are challenging, but I am making very good grades. I can't wait to finish, though, and be surrounded by nothing, but music. If you didn't know, I am going to attempt to major in violin performance. I absolutely love the violin! My current private instructor is very encouraging and helpful. Because of all of the moving in the past, I have been unable to really progress the way I wanted. However, I have made great strides, or so my professor says... I feel like I am going snail speed right now.... Work is going good as well. The people I work with are very kind and sincere. When I walk in the door for my shift, I am greeted with kind, smiling faces. What a wonderful place to work! Oh and before I forget! I have been looking for some things for my music study. Just a few things... Okay!... a lot of stuff.... But that's why I have you guys! :) I would love any advice! I need help with:
1. To find a great music theory book
2. To find a great music school for violin performance major
3. To find a great violin (the reason for this being, that my old violin is not the best and is really worn out...)
4. To find a great violin bow (same reason as the violin, but also that it is a carbon fiber bow, and I have been informed by my professor that I need to get a new bow that is specifically made of wood.)
5. To find cool, classical pieces to play ;)
Thanks so much for all of your help! Also, I would appreciate any advice on violin practicing, such as, how to have a regular practice schedule when you have so much school work and work to do. Oh! And advice on auditioning for the violin at a university and what to expect! Thanks again! :D Hope to hear from you guys soon! :D
